The Spanish football team have knocked out the host nation, Germany 🇩🇪 to book a space in the Semi-Final of the ongoing Euros tournament courtesy of Mikel Merino’s late, late, late winner. Football, bloody hell.
It was Almo who drew the first blood as Spain moved most likely to win until Bayer Leverkusen’s player, Wirtz scores with a shot off the post from eight yards, getting on the end of a brilliant Kimmich header back into play from the byline after Mittlestadt had sent a cross towards the far post from the left wing.

Having dished out the thick end of 20 yellow cards and one red over the course of the previous 125 mins, Anthony Taylor Howard blows for full time and Spain’s players celebrate their victory.
They’ll be without Dani Carvajal, Robin Le Normand and Alvaro Morata for the semi-final throuigh suspension. Their captain, Morata, got himself booked after being taken off for his part in the celebrations of Merino’s winning goal.
Germany’s players are understandably devastated, not least because they missed a good chance to score their second late equaliser of the night before the game ended. Toni Kroos will not enjoy the first night of his retirment, but what a terrific career he has had.
